While the Sanitation Department claims that over 95 percent of the city’s streets are “acceptably clean,” city officials are planning additional cleanups in some neighborhoods.

In a new initiative, City Council members have earmarked $3.5 million in fiscal year 2015 for districts to bring in outside groups — such as The Doe Fund — to do extra tidying up.

The money could also pay for additional shifts at the Sanitation Department for bin-emptying on street corners, where the garbage tends to pile up, according to Council Member David Greenfield (D-Brooklyn), who helped secure the funding.

Vito Turso, a Sanitation spokesman, said highly trafficked business improvement districts have been hiring outside firms for extra cleaning for years.

He said the agency welcomes an extra hand — particularly in busier areas.

“We never say no to someone coming in and helping us out,” he said. “There’s certainly a long precedent for it being an effective way to keep a neighborhood clean.”
